Natural Lotion Bars

I made Natural Lotion Bars for today, and I am loving them. I had seen them online different blogs before, and I wanted to try making them myself. I live in Denver and it is so dry here, that I am constantly putting on lotion. We also travel a lot, and you can only carry so much in liquids on a plane, so I am never able to fit lotion in my bag. I thought that a Lotion Bar was an ideal alternative. I found these great little tins at Hobby Lobby to put them in, which I thought way to carry them in a purse. These bars may be used on any part of your body; hands, legs, body.

Natural Lotion Bars

Ingredients:

1/2 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup shea butter

4 oz beeswax

40 drops quince essential oil ( you may use any essential oil that you like)

Supplies:

Mini Muffin Tin

1 qt Mason jar (cleaned with alcohol)

Pan of boiling water 3 to 4 inches

mini tins to hold cooled bars (cleaned with alcohol)

Directions:

Put all ingredients in a mason jar with a lid on in a pan of boiling water.

Slip a knife down the side of each muffin cup to remove bars from muffin tin.

Put bars into tins.

The jar is difficult to clean. I heated it in the microwave with water for about 1 minute or until the wax was floating in the water. I then added Dawn dish soap to the water to help break the lotion apart and used a bottle washer to help clean the jar.

I hope that you like these Natural lotion Bars and much as I do. I always love hearing from you.

Great recipe and bars. Thanks for sharing. These make a perfect present for anyone who has to wash their hands a lot - doctor, healthcare, food, etc I even gave one to the lady in my post office when she said all of the paperwork makes her hands dry.

These are awesome and would make great gifts!!! Thanks for sharing them. We are making all of our own detergents and cleaners so why not lotions, right?!?! I am hosting today at http://www.frugalfitfamily.com - swing by if you can!

I love this, especially for travelling! My skin is always dry and I'm slowly combating it with coconut oil. Thanks so much for sharing. I found you via My Turn for Us and would love it if you visited my diy cleaning blog.

Rosa,I tried to send you an email, but you are a no-comment blogger. You can buy beeswax at a store like Whole Food, Vitamin Cottage, or online. I get mine at Vitamin Cottage which is a natural grocer in Colorado.Thanks so much for stopping by. If you have anymore questions let me know.Debi

Hi Debi,I just made these and they didn't harden. So they aren't lotion bars, but more like really thick body butter. I double checked that I followed the recipe correctly, I can't figure out what I did wrong! Any ideas? Has this ever happened to you? StacyP.S. Even though they didn't harden, it's still amazing to use- my skin feels great!
